About Red coral
Coral is an organic gem: the calcium carbonate skeleton built by colonies of tiny marine animals called polyps. It occurs in many colours, and red coral has historically been the most valuable.
Hardness
3-4 (Mohs)
Everyday wear
Coral is relatively soft and porous, so it should be stored separately from harder gems and kept away from knocks.
Care
Wipe with a soft cloth or rinse briefly in warm, soapy water without soaking; avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners, heat, chlorinated pools and chemicals such as cosmetics and perfume.
Meaning and tradition
In Greek myth, red coral formed when Medusa's blood touched seaweed; ancient Romans believed coral calmed the waves, and Victorians wore coral beads for good luck. Many cultures have associated coral with happiness, wisdom and success.
Meanings and traditions are beliefs people have held about these stones, not proven effects, and are no substitute for medical advice.
